This week, Narelle speaks of the challenge of being grateful for the “little things” with a gospel reminder from Jesus for the people to open their eyes to what is going on around them.

Learning to Let Go – Liturgy August 17, 2025
Our lives are cluttered with so much thought. From the moment we wake to the moment we sleep. Cultural conditions from our past, fears of the future and emotions about our current situation. Eckart Tolle says: "Most people are so completely identified with the voice in the head—the incessant stream of involuntary and compulsive thinking and the emotions that accompany it—that we may describe them as being possessed by their mind". Releasing ourselves from this can empower our true selves to take a different, kinder, just and compassionate path.
